Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The wall isn’t magic. The magic is in us and what we believe. Before we start speaking the language of letting go, we need to understand what a powerful behavior letting go and letting God is. #2 The universe will help you, but you must do your part as well. Here’s an acronym to help you remember what it means to do that: My Part. Accept, relax, breathe, and trust yourself, God, and the universe to manifest the best possible destiny when the time is right for you. #3 When ideals conflict, you must choose which one to follow. Be sensitive to the fact that you are following an ideal, not a rigid belief. List your ideals and put them with your goals. These ideals should be a light that guides your path and allows you to live in harmony with others and yourself. #4 Know your limits, and know when it's okay to compromise them. Know your values, and be aware of the dangers that can come from compromising them.
